The guys over at Intralot Italia have it right. Today they announced that they’ll be sponsoring the one world championship where it’s perfectly ok to stare at scantily-clad women all day. For the second year running, Intralot has signed up to sponsor FIVB Beach Volleyball Swatch World Championships in Rome from June 13th to 20th and they will have a booth at the event in order to take bets. Whether it will manned by women dressed up as beach volleyball players is not yet known.
